fwiw I see a few different qb views out there

You missed:

6. Hill is the best QB who ever played for Mike Martz and is going to prove it when he takes over for an ineffective or injured Davis and leads the Rams to victory over the Niners on MNF.

I actually think Hill would have been good. I base that on his play in the Vikes game. It has nothing to do with Martz. I thought he was set up to play well in this offense. I don’t think we’ll ever know though.

It’s early. And there are too many unknowns. But…here’s what I see:

1. Davis is better than Bradford already
2. Bradford is better than Davis & he can come back
3. Bradford may be better than Davis but he can’t come back, and Davis is fine
4. Davis isn’t good enough, Bradford can’t come back, so draft a namebrand college kid high in the draft
5. If Davis improves and Bradford can come back, interesting problem to have

Its a fascinating issue and i think its
the Rams-story of the year – Austin Davis.

Bradford and Davis are so…different.
Hard to say who’s ‘better’ but they ‘are’
different.

Its way too early to know for sure what
exactly they have in AustinD,
but IF (and only if) he continues to improve…I would
probably ‘prefer’ his game to Bradford’s game.

If Austin is gonna continue to miss blitzers,
fail at crunch time and be a turnover machine,
then, he’s just gonna be a good gunslinger-backup.

But i suspect, he is gonna improve and i suspect
the Rams have themselves a ram=version of Romo.
Which is fine with me.

I beg to differ.

See, to me, as much as I like watching Davis, I think 2 other things, too.

First, I think Hill would have done just as well. It would have been different, somewhat anyway, but…these receivers were primed to be what they are. Hill coulda done it too, I think.

But also, I think a healthy Bradford would have just torn up the league. I think with SB they would already be 3-1 or even 4-0. I base that on what I read from OTAs and camp, and on seeing the bits in the pre-season, where the guy who was playing very well against Carolina in 2013 just re-emerged intact and ready.

There’s a long way to go with Davis. If he develops, and becomes the guy for whatever reason, I won’t complain. But…Bradford would have been smoking defenses like…um…a sausage, with…a cigarette.
